Two days in and I'm definately feeling different. I ate an essentially raw diet today and generally stuffed myself! Total food for the day:
6 bananas
2 apples
1 mango
3 carrots
3 oranges
one large bowl of muesli
2 sticks of celery
2 tomatos
lots of lettuce + cucumber
One jacket potato
One bowl of vegetable soup + 2 slices of brown bread.
And.. a protein shake after my leg workout.
The weird thing is I didn't ever feel truly full, and was light and energetic immediately after my meals.
My emotions feel incredibly calm and mellow, in a way I can't remember feeling before for such prolonged periods of time. I'm wondering if any withdrawal symptoms are going to hit me any time soon. I may already be going through some actually but it's difficult to tell because for the last year my body has felt perpetually off colour anyway.
Getting up to do the yoga/pilates sessions is a real struggle but I think I'll grow to love it. I get a feeling of gentle, calm euphoria after each session and it's a great way to begin the day. I'm really inflexible and uncoordinated compared to how I was when I did yoga/pilates aged 15, though that's not surprising I suppose.
I could have worked a lot harder today on the essay I'm doing. For some reason I convinced myself I need to read more to understand it better, though I've spent about 40 hours reading around this particular topic already. It's a beast of an essay because to understand it thoroughly requires getting to grips with the moral philosophies of basically every significant philosopher ever- from Sophocles to Aristotle, Aquinas, Hume, Kant, Nietzsche, G.E.Moore and the political and sociological works of Max Weber.... to name just a few. A little tough considering I've been studying this shiz for less than a year!
Anyway, it's time to stop worrying that I've missed something important and just write the damn thing.
I hope Tiger wins the golf tomorrow. I freaking love Tiger. Or Paul Casey because an english winner would be badass.
